“Kamal Haasan sir’s advice has been so much motivating” – Sriram!

When this young lad among the four actors of his age made debut as child artists in ‘Pasanga’, least many would have envisaged that he would one come out proving his proficiency and play the solo lead protagonist. This is all about Sriram who made his debut in Pandiraj’s Pasanga and later shot to fame for his commendable performance with the same star-cast of Pasanga in ‘Goli Soda’. His much prominent role as Kamal Haasan’s sidekick in Papanasam was very well lauded, which garnered him additional spotlights on career graph. Now the actor is all set to make his debut as solo hero in the film ‘Paisa’.

Just like that film was based on a social issue, even this film ‘Paisa’ revolves around a critical situation that is prevailing in our very own society. Chennai has become a much victim city of garbage and waste materials. Many in the city are not throwing up the waste materials in the dustbins, but everything on the streets, which eventually gets stocked up only to spread inevitable diseases. In this film, director Majid sir has taken effective measures to emphasize this issue and how about bringing the changes. Being a part of this film has impacted to change my way of treating the city over cleanliness and has changed my way of respecting the nature.”

When asked about some of his films yielding him good appreciations, but not performing well in box office, Sriram says, “Being an actor is a lesson that success and failure should be handled in same way. Every film is a learning experience and I keep doing my best to achieve a better status.”

On working with Kamal Haasan in Papanasam, he says, “It was really a great moment to share the screen space with Ulaga Nayagan Kamal Haasan sir. It was a dream to meet him at least once in a life time, but I couldn’t believe that I am being offered to play an important role in his ‘Papanasam’. He was so humble and helpful in cheering me up every time we had to shoot together. He advised me to treat every film as a debut and this will keeping things work out at best…”
